Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings and confirm. Then choose the option to just set it up not from a backup when you turn the phone on again.

Go to Settings-->>Reset-->>Erase All Contents and Settings

Once you have executed the Erase All Contents and Settings command then the software will log you out of iCloud, Disable Find My [Devices] if it were activated and erase all settings and Data. It will then re-boot at the HELLO screen and ask you what to do next and that time choose Set Up as New.
